This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, wait to fight again today. Glad you're here. Wow,
feels like I've been going one hundred years. It's weird
that way, isn't it. Ryan. I mean, you do a
show every day and then take one week off and
then it just feels like ages. But chomping at the
bit to get back.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
So thanks to all the great folks who did such
a great job while I was gone last week, including
Sheriff Steve Reems, new to the show as a host,
obviously a frequent guest over the years, did as expected
an a triple plus job, and so we look forward
to do a sheriff hosting again sometime very soon. KBB, Heidi,
John Caldera, their usual world class efforts. So grateful for
(00:51):
all of that. Anxious to talk to you again. Eight
five five four zero five A two to five five
the number text d an five seven seven three nine
and I've I've got a list literally it's two pages
long of stuff I want to get into with you.
But let me say right out of the gate, I
know we're not a sports show and we won't talk
about it, but CSU got flat out robbed.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I mean it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
That game was stolen from them yesterday, and that really
bugs me, and I put sports in proper perspective.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Maybe at some point in my life I have.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
But that was a big deal and that game was taken,
and it is impossible for me to believe that an
official did not see that opposing player clearly travel clearly
commit a violation on what turned out to be the
game quote winning shots. So just really bothers me because
sports should be more pure than it is. But CSU
(01:44):
earned that win, it was stolen from them, and that
just really bugs me.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
But on with life eight five five.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Zero five A two five five the number text d
an five seven seven three nine. So, hey, where do
you want to start? There's so much on the docket,
and so much of it is so much fun. So
I want to start local, though, because it's a story
we've spent a lot of time on, because we need to,
because it's so important to the safety of kids in Colorado,
(02:13):
so important to parental rights in Colorado and probably even beyond.
And so I want to open up with Sean Boyd's
latest great follow up on this travesty at Columbine. And
you know, we've had the mother on the show, We've
talked about it at length, We've had an investigator on
the show who's done tremendous work on this. So you
(02:34):
know the general background, which is where we have this wonderful,
high achieving fifteen year old girl who's a sophomore at Columbine.
She's a great student, she's a great athlete, and then
all of a sudden, a female teacher takes an interest
in her starts to groom her. Parents learn much later
over twenty thousand texts tour, and then all of a sudden,
(02:56):
some people at the school district and the school start
plotting to have this student who has this wonderful, normal
home declared homeless. Without all this is behind her parents back.
So they're going to have her declared homeless and take
her out of the home at the same time she's
being groomed by this other teacher. I mean, the whole thing, right,
(03:17):
it's just mind blowing, And to this point it has
ended in a most extraordinarily sad way with the child.
Now the parents, you know, the child being pulled away
from the parents and now off living with this thirty
seven year old teacher. The parents have to watch from
a distance at graduation.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Just total heartbreak.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
But as far as I understand it, as at least
as far as I understand to this day, nobody at
Columbine has been fired over this. Nobody at the school
district fired over this, No criminal prosecutions over this. So
just continuing to shine the light. And Shawn Boyd does
a great job in this follow up piece. Fire it
please right well the.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Jockoe Sheriff's Office.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
There's lunch of criminal investigation Columbine High School.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
This comes after your investigator, Sean Boyd found school officials
falsely claimed a student was homeless so that she could
move in with a teacher. Sean joins us now and Sean,
that may not have been the only motivation here.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
You've learned Jeff Cover receives thousands of dollars for students
who are homeless the school district, and this decision had
nothing to do with money. But the more homeless students
the district has, the more funding it's eligible for The
girl's mother believes the district used her daughter for financial gain.
Baron identifying the mom to protect the privacy of her
(04:33):
other kids.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Not a story.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
This is a nightmare, A nightmare this mother wouldn't wish
on anyone. Three years ago, she learned Columbine High School teachers, counselors,
and even the principal had come up with a plan
to help her daughter run away from home.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
This was deliberate, It was calculated.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
It was intentional and possibly criminal. Jeff Coo Sheriff's Office
is investigating after school district employees build up a federal
form claiming the girl was homeless when they knew she
wasn't even discussing in emails how to conceal it from
her parents by not using their contact information.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
If I would not have found this paperwork underneath her bed,
I would have had no idea that this was happening
behind her back.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Jeff Go Schools claims the form is not a declaration
of homelessness and says it generates no revenue through any
sources for Jeffco Public Schools, But the form itself asks
whether a student is an unaccompanied homeless youth or unaccompanied
self supporting youth at risk of homelessness. While this student's
(05:40):
form was signed in April twenty twenty two, it was
dated July of twenty twenty one, the start of Jeffco's
fiscal year. The district says the form is pre typed
each school year. According to the Colorado Department of Education,
Jeffco Schools has received at least four hundred thousand dollars
for homeless students since twenty two, twenty two.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's Sidney.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
This mom believes jeff COO's school's made money at the
expense of her daughter's safety. An investigator hired by the
district found Columbine teacher Leanne Karney was grooming the minor,
and it asked a colleague about the process for declaring
a student homeless as early as twenty nineteen. The mom
says she texted Carney not to contact her daughter after
(06:24):
discovering thousands of texts and phone calls between them. She
says when she alerted the principle, he told her Carne
helps kids navigate their sexuality.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
So you've just been given information that of some sort,
there's some type of inappropriate relationship happening between an adult
and a child, and you can say in the same
two hour meeting that she takes a special interest in
helping kids navigate their sexuality.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
The investigator hired by the district, says Principal Scott Christy,
showed a lack of urgency, possible life, lack of memory,
and lack of follow up, saying Christy saw the texts
and calls as a boundary issue, didn't tell Carne to stop,
and because Carne was on military leave at the time,
believed the investigation could wait until she returned in six months,
(07:15):
despite a safe to Tell report indicating the relationship between
the teacher and student had turned sexual. The mom says
after turning eighteen, her daughter moved in with another teacher
while Carne was deployed, then went missing, and months later
turned up in California with Carne. She says ten school officials,
(07:36):
all mandatory reporters, helped her daughter run away with a
predatory teacher instead of alerting social services as required by law.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
What they ultimately did was stripped away our printal rights,
inserted themselves as surrogate parents. If you did this once
and there's been no consequences.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
The mom says, shan't her husband had to push Jeff
co for months to launch the investigation into Karney, and
then push the Department of Education two years later to
revoke Karney's teaching license. While Jeff COO Schools told me
it took every step to remove Karney, she wasn't fired.
She resigned, and, according to emails obtained through an open
(08:19):
records request, the principal and district's Title nine coordinator initially
planned to allow her back in the classroom.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Four days after my.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Initial story aired, and three years after this ordeal began,
the district decided to conduct an after action review.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The Sheriff's office.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Has been investigating Carney since twenty twenty three, but has
not charged her. It's now investigating everyone else involved. Carney
didn't respond to my request for an interview.
Speaker 8 (08:47):
Shan A lot of head scratching and a lot of
questions here, including why did school employees do this?
Speaker 6 (08:53):
We went to great lengths and Principal Christy told the
investigator that he counsels students their sexual orientation and that
this girls didn't think her parents supported her being a lesbian.
He said he didn't ask the parents about that because
he was worried that the girl would become resentful of him.
(09:15):
I did ask Christy for an interview, and he didn't
respond to my request. The mom told me that, you know,
nothing has or ever will change her and her husband's
unconditional love for their daughter.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Absolutely, I mean this is just kind of one of
those Like you said, Michael head Scratcher, I know you're
going to continue to ask questions and investigate this for us. Sean,
Thank you very.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Much, boy Great work by Sean Boyd.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Tremendous courage on the part of the mother because obviously
she wants a daughter back, but she's trying to protect
everybody else.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
What do you think is really going on here? At
three or three? Someone?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Three eight, two, five five? How do we get justice here?
How do we get justice here? How do we protect
children in Colorado?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Here? You can text five seven, seven thirty nine. I'll
give you my proposed fix. On the other side. You're
on the Dan Capla.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
Show and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Is there anything that you think Trump has done right?
Speaker 9 (10:15):
Yeah, I mean, I think cracking down on fetanol, making
sure our borders are stronger. Nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate.
I think we need comprehensive immigration reform, but I don't
think that it's appropriate for people to be coming across
the border illegally.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Wow, think about that, and of course he's right, but
think about that A one eighty on his position, and
he's the hardest of hardcorees on the left right at
least an elective office. So think about the total Trump
victory there. And we know that he doesn't believe personally
a word that he's saying. He's saying it because he
(10:54):
knows that that that Trump won on that issue, that
that America has gone against the Democratic Party on that issue,
and that if the Democratic Party said what it really
believes and what it really wants, they wouldn't win anything again.
So wow, what a what a total victory for Trump
on that? What a capitulation A five five or zero
(11:16):
five A two five five text d A N five
seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
We just played the latest Sean.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Boyd's story on this just horrific situation over at Columbine.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Follow up on that in a second. Let's work in
some calls.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
We'll start with David in California. You're on the Dan
Caplish'll welcome David.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Oh thanks, are you Dan?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I sure hope. So this could all just be a
great dream.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Oh okay, Well I remember hearing your show year or
so ago. I thought you had a different voice. But anyway, well,
I was interested in the economy and what I'm looking at.
Have you ever studied pirates?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
All right, my friend, where are we going?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well? You know, Trump is always talking about going against
the deep state, and I'm looking at it as if
it's a gang war, that Putin's gang is against the
deep state, and so they're just pirates either side. George
Bush was skull and bones, right, so that would be
deep state and Donald Trump is Putin's gang. You know,
(12:26):
he's been involved with the Russian mob since the late eighties.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And so do you, my friend?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Let me ask you, is this this business about defaming, slandering,
et cetera. Is that something you do often or do
you reserve that for Donald Trump?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And I always haven't.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
You've never heard that Donald Trump is organized crime?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah? You know, I would love to see the proof,
my friend. We're in evidence based ship.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I can tell you a book that was written in
the air too. No, let's just just give us the fact.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Just Hey, you're the guy.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
You're the guy calling the show to defame somebody else,
So you give us the facts.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
So this book written in in the year two thousand,
called Mafia Maafa Yia, and on page one hundred and
thirty two and one thirty three it talks about a
Russian mobster that's on the run. The FBI tracks him
down and finds him in a Trump tower, and so
(13:24):
they move in to catch him, and the guy's gone.
And a week later they track him down again and
they find he's gone to a different Trump tower. So
it's pretty plain. And then in fact, then they talk
a little about the Trump casino over there in Atlantic City.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
So you're talking, you're talking about a book written twenty
years ago. Can you explain something to me then? How then, with.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
The entire apparatus of the Democratic Party, which includes virtually
all of the media, not all, but almost all, includes
countless billionaires. Literally, you can't even count the number of
billionaires behind Trump, a lot of Deep States support them. Now,
how the man get elected president twice? If what you
say is true? And by the way, even what you
claim is in a book written twenty years ago doesn't
(14:10):
prove anything against Trump.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Well, have you seen the movie The Apprentice came out
last summer? Okay, blackmail? Blackmail is the technique that they use. Okay,
mailing the Supreme Court justices, blackmailing the senators black and.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Who did this? Who did this? And how'd they do it?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Well, you mean you you're an attorney, right.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
This is a waste of time. Dump them?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Would you write? I'm remoter, I dump you myself. Yeah,
this is just a silly waste of time.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
So listen. I understand there are all sorts of Trump
haters out there, and we welcome that. Come to this show.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I know you disagree with me, come to this show
and lay out your argument, lay out your.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Facts, but don't be a blank like that guy.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Okay, you think you've got a legitimate reason to believe
Donald Trump is the BC or D lay.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It out there.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
You know, this guy's just a waste of our time.
Three or three someone three A two five five the
number text d an five seven seven three nine. But
I do want to talk a little bit about Bernie Sanders,
right because of what happened in Denver. And you know me,
I'm an optimist, but there are so many reasons to
be optimistic. There are so many reasons to be happy.
(15:31):
And one of the biggest ones, and there are so
many right now, is looking at that rally in Denver,
And I know there are disagreements over the number. Was
it really twenty three thousand or thirty thousand and thirty three?
To me, that's not a big deal because it was
a big group, right, It was a big group that.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Turned out for Bernie Sanders and AOC.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
And if, like me, you want to see this Democratic
Party lose to the point where it just can't function
anymore because it's so horrible for America, then you should
be thrilled about what we saw out there at Civic
Center Park, right because if that's where the energy is
in the Democratic Party, it means great things for America
because that Democratic Party is not going to win. That
(16:12):
Democratic Party is going to get absolutely routed. And I
think it means very good things for Colorado as well,
because we all know Colorado's gone far left right. But
if that is where the energy is in Colorado politics
right now, that just I think makes the possibility of
(16:32):
a Republican nominee winning the governor's office winning the Senate
seat even greater because It's hard for me to believe
that many of the people who went out to Civic
Center Park to worship Bernie Sanders and AOC are very
excited about John Hickenlooper or Michael Bennett or any of
those people, right, because they really don't stand for anything.
(16:56):
And who was it Ryan? Somebody did a maybe it
was commentary of Peace, But there was some great commentary
in the last few days about how the Democratic Party
has now become divided between the believers and those who
don't believe in anything. And the believers are these far
lefties who show up in Civic Center Park for Bernie
(17:17):
and AOC and who will tank the party. The party
can't win broadly, the party can't win nationally, the party
can't win in most states with that kind of agenda.
The rest of the Democratic Party has made up of
a bunch of people who don't believe that much in anything,
you know, which is where kind of Bennett and hick
and Looper fall. And they can't really believe this stuff
(17:38):
they claim to believe just in order to get elected office,
Like yeah, baby, you should be able to kill them
up til the moment they're born, and sometimes even after
they can't possibly believe that they say those things so
they can get elected as a Democrat. So I think
the Democratic Party is in the most perilous position it
has been in our lifetime, which is good news for America.
So I want to come back and at your reaction
(18:00):
to all of that as well. I want to give
you my take on what I think the next step
should be to try to get to the bottom of
what happened at Columbine. Hold everybody accountable, protect the children
of Colorado, fulfill this mother's mission, which he's fighting so bravely,
and well three or three someone three eight two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
(18:22):
You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You release the JFK file. So do you think Oswald
killed JFK personally? I do, and I bow has held that. Yeah,
of course he was. Was he helped and based on
the papers that you.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Know, we released eighty eight as I was here, and
in fact there was some that they needed a little
more time.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Just now we said go over to the office, will
show you. Yeah, so nobody could say and they've been released.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I think the papers have turned out to be somewhat unspectacular.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, I think that's and maybe it's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
So President Trump believing Oswald was the trigger man, but
there were others involved. I wonder how many people right
now believe Oswald acted alone. Does anybody in America believe
Oswald acted alone? If you do, I'd be anxious to
hear your rationale on that. I don't think there's any
doubt he pulled the trigger, but hard for me to
(19:24):
imagine at least that there weren't others involved, given all
the circumstances. Three or three someone three eight two five
five the number text d A N five seven seven
three nine. The Trump role continues, right, Columbia buckling to Trump,
and Columbia obviously was just so insane and the stuff
they were doing was so crazy and so hateful. It's
(19:45):
just another lasting gift from Trump, right, and and the
fact that, okay, Columbia had to buckle. But I'm thinking
of this long beyond Trump, Ryan, I'm thinking of the
example that Trump is setting for the rest of the GOP.
And you know, everybody's got to take their own approach,
their own personality, et cetera. Be true, to themselves, authentically themselves,
(20:08):
but just the point that that, hey, you know, we've
got to be ready to stand up to evil, We've
got to be ready to fight, we've got to be
ready to take tough action.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
That it's pieced through strength.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I think that example from Trump and that it really
does work, I think is going to live long, long,
long beyond the Trump presidency.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
So let's hope anyway.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Three or three someone three eight two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven three nine
will start to work text in shortly. Just have a
lot of ground to cover today. One other note on
this rally. I was out of state at the time
of the Bernie Sanders AOC rally, but got a lot
of national coverage, as you know. But one of the
things that was so striking to me Ryan And maybe
(20:53):
there are some some photos out there that I haven't seen,
but it was it looked like it was is over
ninety ninety five percent white.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
And you know, the truth is.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
None of the photos I saw could I make out
anybody who didn't appear to be white. But I'm sure
there were some. But what does that tell you? What
does And I'd love to hear from folks on that.
Let's just say, for the sake of generosity that the
overwhelming majority of that crowd that showed up for Sanders
and AOC was white. If if that's true, which is
(21:28):
what the pictures seemed to show.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
What does that tell you?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
What does that tell you about where the Democratic Party
in Colorado? Because this was in Colorado? Is that right now?
Three or three? Someone three eight two five five text
d An five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
What does it tell one young Ryan shooing?
Speaker 10 (21:45):
Well, it tells me, Dan that there is a tremendous
blind spot in that wing of the Democratic Party for
minority voters and in particular Black Americans who don't feel
included in that message and never have. And quite frankly, Dan,
when you go back to the twenty election in which
Bernie Sanders looked like he was carrying forward similar momentum
as he was in twenty sixteen when he was giving
(22:06):
Hillary Clinton a hard time. You know that, Pete Budah Judge,
I think one Iowa. Things got weird there for the
Democrats and the caucuses. But then Bernie won New Hampshire
and was on a glide path to the nomination until
Representative Jim Clyburn, who was African Americans, stepped in and
rallied the troops in South Carolina, largely Black Americans, to
support Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders has never resonated in
(22:29):
general with Black Americans, Dan, and I don't know what
the specific reasons are to connect the dots, but then
I will hand it off to you.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
I do, yes, my friend, and nor with Latinos Hispanics, right, true, true,
And you know there, I think a couple of big
starting point reasons for that, and it votes very very
poorly for the Democratic Party long term, no matter who
their nominee is, because you've got this major disconnect right now.
And I'm speaking broadly here right, speaking broadly between say,
(23:02):
Black Americans and then Latinos and Hispanics and the Democratic Party,
which is that Black Americans in general, as well as
Latinos and Hispanics in general, are very faithful people who
believe in God deeply and often center their lives around God.
So they've got it right, They've got it figured out.
And of course I'm talking in generalities, but you've got
(23:26):
now these communities which generally speaking have deep faith, which
habitually vote for a party that has now become very
far left, secular, anti faith, and so that's a relationship
that the Democratic Party is not going to be able
to hold on to over time, because most people, if
(23:46):
it's important enough to be their faith, their God is
more important to them than their political party. And as
the Democrats get more and more secular and more and
more anti faith, they're going to lose more and more
voters of color.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
So that's a starting point reason.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
And then you get to other policy stuff we talk
about a lot, right, which is you know, the Democratic
Party just so abusing people of color and their children
in so many different ways, you know. So, yeah, so
the Democrats have a major problem with people of color.
Trump has done a great job, you know, bringing that
to the four and making the roads.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
We're all aware of.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
So now you end up with this this preposterous rally
last week where you have these huge numbers of Democrats
turn out for Bernie and DOOC and very very few
people of color.
Speaker 8 (24:33):
And a lot of it too.
Speaker 10 (24:34):
Dan and speaking with Rob Dawson, who was there to
cover it for KOA on my program, which is the
Dan Capitalist pregame, show that it's kind of to your
point it was birds of a feather. There were people
that wanted to be preached to like a choir, and
you had people there that were all like minds. They
all were united in their hatred all of a sudden
of Elon Musk and suddenly they want to torch charging
(24:55):
stations because I guess they're not that concerned about the environment.
They obviously hate Donald Trump in that cause. But Dan,
what Rob was noticing, and he's not a partisan reporter,
was that there was a real lack of enthusiasm in
terms of positivity, a forward thinking vision for the future,
an affirmative vote, and support for Bernie and AOC. Rather
(25:16):
what it was here where those two were just a
vehicle for hatred and spite and malice against Elon Musk
and Donald Trump, and that apparently is what they feel
is going to lead to victory.
Speaker 8 (25:27):
I strongly disagree.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Well, which goes to another critical point, right, which is
another layer of why you didn't see significant numbers of
people of color out there, is our communities of color. First,
you start with the deep faith, right, deep faith in
God's centering lives around.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It, so yeah, they've got it figured out.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And then you get to this opposition to socialism and communism.
And there's a link there to faith, of course, right,
because communism in particular socialism also tends to be anti faith.
But you know, certainly are Hispanic Latino community men have
had direct experience with socialism don't want it, and you
(26:07):
know again Black Americans don't want it. So yeah, why
are you going to show up for AOC and Bernie
when when a lot of people, I think properly just
see that as as a form of socialism. And then
your point Ryan that people, according to Rob didn't seem
to be out there for a positive agenda.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
What's the positive agenda? You can get behind it?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
And that's the distinction with the Tea Party, right because
after Obama won in eight you know, then you had
this big turnout the Tea Party, which is a true
grassroots operation. But the Tea Party had very specific policy
goals and then achieved a lot of those policy goals. Here,
you know, you've just got this anger and what do
(26:50):
you get behind on the policy front. And for those
who do support Bernie and AOC policies, that stuff ain't
never becoming policy in America, not not.
Speaker 10 (26:57):
Broadly well, and I think it goes to the fact
Dan that things aren't getting better under Donald Trump, and
that goes to his support among the Latin American and
Black American communities. They want to know what's going to
help them at the kitchen table, and Trump's policies, given time,
we believe will work.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
But further to that point, these.
Speaker 10 (27:14):
Are boutique issues really that Bernie Sanders and AOC represent.
These are coastal liberal elites who are living, you know,
high society lives. They have first world problems, and so
they can afford to be rather cavalier in their politics about, Oh,
I don't like Elon Musk, and these are not really heartfelt,
core feelings and issues. I believe on these topics, and
(27:36):
it's not driven by a real kind of heartbeat of America,
you know, the Upper Midwest, the rust spelt, the working
men and women of America that wants embodied the Democratic
Party for people like.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
You, No and in quotes so well for GOP hopes
in Colorado as well. Let's talk a little bit about
the terrorist detects on Tesla and what should be done
there as well.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
You're on the Dan Capla show.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Why would you grade the Democratic Party's response?
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Well, I would take us back even two years before that,
before Trump was elected and saying that it saddens me
that when the Democrats had control of the Senate they
did virtually nothing for working people.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I have to say that I'm a member of.
Speaker 9 (28:18):
The Democratic Caucus as an independent, so I'm not going
to lie to you and tell you otherwise. Yeah, And
since then, do I think the Democrats have been effective
in rallying the American people and stopping Trump's movement toward
Oligautian authoritarianism.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
No, I don't wow think about that.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
And there is so much good news right for the
Republican Party in general but Colorado as well in that
AOC Sanders rally last week. But these comments about missus
Jonathan Carroll a few days later about admitting that the
Democratic Party hasn't done anything for the working people, I mean,
that is a so true b It is not going
(28:58):
to change. It's not going to change because as the
current makeup of the Democratic Party, they're not capable of that.
See Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
AOC, etc.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
That wing is not going to become the presidential nominee.
So they are stuck right now. They are stuck in
this doom loop and the only thing that can rescue
them nationally at this point is major GOP screw ups, right,
That's the only thing that could rescue them.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
And now let's.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Talk about Colorado separately, tougher not to crack, right, Colorado's
so far left and the GOP in Colorado is in
this rebuilding phase.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
So yeah, is this going to be enough in Colorado?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
We don't know yet, but we at least know the
door is open here and that is such a big.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Deal, right because it hasn't been for a while. We've
seen some really.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Really good candidates, you know, not be able to get
to that mountaintop in Colorado and in the last several cycles.
But I think we're looking at a different landscape now
in that rally and the lack of people of color
there and the fact that that's where.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
The energy is in that party right now? Do you think.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Colorado and I'd love to hear from folks in this
three or three seOne three eight two five five text
d an five seven, seven, three nine, what percentage of
Colorado voters right now do you think are as far
left as Bernie and AOC.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
What do you think, Ryan.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
A percentage of Colorado voters, Yeah, Colorado vote well are
that far left. I think it's higher than the national
mean or average.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
I would say a.
Speaker 10 (30:28):
Good third of them, one third of them are that
far left.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
You're prob of the Democrat you mean all Colorado.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
Voters, of the Democrats, well, of the Democrats, of the
Democrats in Colorado. That's a good It might be half,
it might be as high as fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Boy, I think that would be the highest none of
us can somewhere. I'm sure right.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I think Colorado voters at most, maybe as a whole
twenty percent would be that far left. But my big hope, obviously,
is that the people who have have that kind of
skewed view, that they're not going to show up in
large numbers for Hickenlooper and let's say Bennett's the gubernatorial nominee,
or whoever the Democrat gubernatorial nominee is. They're not going
(31:13):
to be excited to show up for those people because first,
who would be right? And then second, yeah, they certainly
are not going to talk that far left game. So
I think there's going to be this lack of enthusiasm
on the Democrat side that we haven't seen in a
while here, and I don't think police ever generated great enthusiasm.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
But he could spend twenty thirty whatever.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Million dollars on his campaign which made up for the
lack of enthusiasm. Three or three someone three eight two
five five text d A N five seven seventy three nine.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
He want to throw this at you, cut eighteen. Please.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
This is RFK Junior talking about getting cell phones out
of schools.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Cut eighteen.
Speaker 11 (31:53):
The cell phones also produce electric magnetic radiation. This has
been shown to damage, to do neurological damage to kids
when it's around them all day, and to uh and
to call cause cellular damage and even cancer. So a
selfone use and social media use on the cell phone
(32:15):
has been directly connected with depression, with poor performance in schools,
with suicidal ideation, with substance abuse, and you know it's
it's the other countries that have done this, the states
that are doing this have found that it is a
much healthier environment when kids are not using self phones.
(32:36):
The schools talked, the teachers loved it.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I bet yeah. The parents do too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
I mean, this is like the biggest no brainer in
the history of education, right, there is no way in
the world that cell phone should be alloped in school.
Now maybe you say, okay, the kids got to keep
it in storage somewhere out there so they can then
reach their parents, But no way it should be allowed
in any classrooms, No way it should be allowed in
any kind of school assemblies, et cetera. And so it
(33:07):
is so remarkable to me that it's still allowed anywhere.
Why do you think it is. I'd love to get
your take on this. Three or three someone three eight
two five five text d A N five seven seven
three nine. And this is separate a part of the
issue of does it, you know, emit some type of
energy field that's damaging to the brain, et cetera. This
is just basic common sense, right. These things are so distracting,
(33:30):
so addictive, so bad for kids in so many different ways.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Ryan. I'll bet most people listening, including you, hopefully most people.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Listening, know people now in their eighties who are screen agers, right,
just totally addicted to screens.
Speaker 10 (33:45):
That's an interesting I just interviewed Pat Boone. He's ninety,
and he's familiar with all these platforms like Spotify and
Spreaker and all these others. There is an element of that.
You're right though, it's aging in.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Well because it is addictive. I mean, it is just ative.
It's addictive mentally the stimulation, the stimulation of the.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Images, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
And it's just there's this major transformation underway in society,
I think when it comes to attention span, et cetera.
And you know, I'm not talking about people choosing to
be frivolous or anything else. It's just the orientation towards
screens and how that trains us, right, and how that
just determines how we get our information, what we pay
(34:27):
attention to.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
And so the.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Last thing in the world we'd want would be any
of these kids in schools having cell phones. What do
you think if there was a statewide referendu right now
to ban cell phones from public schools, what do you
think the vote would be.
Speaker 10 (34:40):
On that, on a ballot measure or in the General
Assembly ballot measure?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Oh, I think listen the General Assembly that I mean,
that's just a bunch of loons for the most part,
sixty four except for our side.
Speaker 10 (34:51):
But what do you think that the vote would be
Salad issues sixty forty at least.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Oh my lord, I think we're talking a ninety ten
issue here now. Maybe not among the students, but not
that many of them are old enough to vote. So
what do you think should cell phones be banned from
all Colorado public schools?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
That more ahead. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
single day on your favorite podcast platform.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, wait to fight again today. Glad you're here. Wow,
feels like I've been going one hundred years. It's weird
that way, isn't it. Ryan. I mean, you do a
show every day and then take one week off and
then it just feels like ages. But chomping at the
bit to get back.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
So thanks to all the great folks who did such
a great job while I was gone last week, including
Sheriff Steve Reems, new to the show as a host,
obviously a frequent guest over the years, did as expected
an a triple plus job, and so we look forward
to do a sheriff hosting again sometime very soon. KBB, Heidi,
John Caldera, their usual world class efforts. So grateful for
(00:51):
all of that. Anxious to talk to you again. Eight
five five four zero five A two to five five
the number text d an five seven seven three nine
and I've I've got a list literally it's two pages
long of stuff I want to get into with you.
But let me say right out of the gate, I
know we're not a sports show and we won't talk
about it, but CSU got flat out robbed.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I mean it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
That game was stolen from them yesterday, and that really
bugs me, and I put sports in proper perspective.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Maybe at some point in my life I have.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
But that was a big deal and that game was taken,
and it is impossible for me to believe that an
official did not see that opposing player clearly travel clearly
commit a violation on what turned out to be the
game quote winning shots. So just really bothers me because
sports should be more pure than it is. But CSU
(01:44):
earned that win, it was stolen from them, and that
just really bugs me.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
But on with life eight five five.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Zero five A two five five the number text d
an five seven seven three nine. So, hey, where do
you want to start? There's so much on the docket,
and so much of it is so much fun. So
I want to start local, though, because it's a story
we've spent a lot of time on, because we need to,
because it's so important to the safety of kids in Colorado,
(02:13):
so important to parental rights in Colorado and probably even beyond.
And so I want to open up with Sean Boyd's
latest great follow up on this travesty at Columbine. And
you know, we've had the mother on the show, We've
talked about it at length, We've had an investigator on
the show who's done tremendous work on this. So you
(02:34):
know the general background, which is where we have this wonderful,
high achieving fifteen year old girl who's a sophomore at Columbine.
She's a great student, she's a great athlete, and then
all of a sudden, a female teacher takes an interest
in her starts to groom her. Parents learn much later
over twenty thousand texts tour, and then all of a sudden,
(02:56):
some people at the school district and the school start
plotting to have this student who has this wonderful, normal
home declared homeless. Without all this is behind her parents back.
So they're going to have her declared homeless and take
her out of the home at the same time she's
being groomed by this other teacher. I mean, the whole thing, right,
(03:17):
it's just mind blowing, And to this point it has
ended in a most extraordinarily sad way with the child.
Now the parents, you know, the child being pulled away
from the parents and now off living with this thirty
seven year old teacher. The parents have to watch from
a distance at graduation.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Just total heartbreak.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
But as far as I understand it, as at least
as far as I understand to this day, nobody at
Columbine has been fired over this. Nobody at the school
district fired over this, No criminal prosecutions over this. So
just continuing to shine the light. And Shawn Boyd does
a great job in this follow up piece. Fire it
please right well the.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Jockoe Sheriff's Office.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
There's lunch of criminal investigation Columbine High School.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
This comes after your investigator, Sean Boyd found school officials
falsely claimed a student was homeless so that she could
move in with a teacher. Sean joins us now and Sean,
that may not have been the only motivation here.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
You've learned Jeff Cover receives thousands of dollars for students
who are homeless the school district, and this decision had
nothing to do with money. But the more homeless students
the district has, the more funding it's eligible for The
girl's mother believes the district used her daughter for financial gain.
Baron identifying the mom to protect the privacy of her
(04:33):
other kids.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Not a story.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
This is a nightmare, A nightmare this mother wouldn't wish
on anyone. Three years ago, she learned Columbine High School teachers, counselors,
and even the principal had come up with a plan
to help her daughter run away from home.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
This was deliberate, It was calculated.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
It was intentional and possibly criminal. Jeff Coo Sheriff's Office
is investigating after school district employees build up a federal
form claiming the girl was homeless when they knew she
wasn't even discussing in emails how to conceal it from
her parents by not using their contact information.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
If I would not have found this paperwork underneath her bed,
I would have had no idea that this was happening
behind her back.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Jeff Go Schools claims the form is not a declaration
of homelessness and says it generates no revenue through any
sources for Jeffco Public Schools, But the form itself asks
whether a student is an unaccompanied homeless youth or unaccompanied
self supporting youth at risk of homelessness. While this student's
(05:40):
form was signed in April twenty twenty two, it was
dated July of twenty twenty one, the start of Jeffco's
fiscal year. The district says the form is pre typed
each school year. According to the Colorado Department of Education,
Jeffco Schools has received at least four hundred thousand dollars
for homeless students since twenty two, twenty two.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's Sidney.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
This mom believes jeff COO's school's made money at the
expense of her daughter's safety. An investigator hired by the
district found Columbine teacher Leanne Karney was grooming the minor,
and it asked a colleague about the process for declaring
a student homeless as early as twenty nineteen. The mom
says she texted Carney not to contact her daughter after
(06:24):
discovering thousands of texts and phone calls between them. She
says when she alerted the principle, he told her Carne
helps kids navigate their sexuality.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
So you've just been given information that of some sort,
there's some type of inappropriate relationship happening between an adult
and a child, and you can say in the same
two hour meeting that she takes a special interest in
helping kids navigate their sexuality.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
The investigator hired by the district, says Principal Scott Christy,
showed a lack of urgency, possible life, lack of memory,
and lack of follow up, saying Christy saw the texts
and calls as a boundary issue, didn't tell Carne to stop,
and because Carne was on military leave at the time,
believed the investigation could wait until she returned in six months,
(07:15):
despite a safe to Tell report indicating the relationship between
the teacher and student had turned sexual. The mom says
after turning eighteen, her daughter moved in with another teacher
while Carne was deployed, then went missing, and months later
turned up in California with Carne. She says ten school officials,
(07:36):
all mandatory reporters, helped her daughter run away with a
predatory teacher instead of alerting social services as required by law.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
What they ultimately did was stripped away our printal rights,
inserted themselves as surrogate parents. If you did this once
and there's been no consequences.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
The mom says, shan't her husband had to push Jeff
co for months to launch the investigation into Karney, and
then push the Department of Education two years later to
revoke Karney's teaching license. While Jeff COO Schools told me
it took every step to remove Karney, she wasn't fired.
She resigned, and, according to emails obtained through an open
(08:19):
records request, the principal and district's Title nine coordinator initially
planned to allow her back in the classroom.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Four days after my.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Initial story aired, and three years after this ordeal began,
the district decided to conduct an after action review.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The Sheriff's office.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Has been investigating Carney since twenty twenty three, but has
not charged her. It's now investigating everyone else involved. Carney
didn't respond to my request for an interview.
Speaker 8 (08:47):
Shan A lot of head scratching and a lot of
questions here, including why did school employees do this?
Speaker 6 (08:53):
We went to great lengths and Principal Christy told the
investigator that he counsels students their sexual orientation and that
this girls didn't think her parents supported her being a lesbian.
He said he didn't ask the parents about that because
he was worried that the girl would become resentful of him.
(09:15):
I did ask Christy for an interview, and he didn't
respond to my request. The mom told me that, you know,
nothing has or ever will change her and her husband's
unconditional love for their daughter.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Absolutely, I mean this is just kind of one of
those Like you said, Michael head Scratcher, I know you're
going to continue to ask questions and investigate this for us. Sean,
Thank you very.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Much, boy Great work by Sean Boyd.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Tremendous courage on the part of the mother because obviously
she wants a daughter back, but she's trying to protect
everybody else.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
What do you think is really going on here? At
three or three? Someone?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Three eight, two, five five? How do we get justice here?
How do we get justice here? How do we protect
children in Colorado?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Here? You can text five seven, seven thirty nine. I'll
give you my proposed fix. On the other side. You're
on the Dan Capla.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
Show and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Is there anything that you think Trump has done right?
Speaker 9 (10:15):
Yeah, I mean, I think cracking down on fetanol, making
sure our borders are stronger. Nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate.
I think we need comprehensive immigration reform, but I don't
think that it's appropriate for people to be coming across
the border illegally.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Wow, think about that, and of course he's right, but
think about that A one eighty on his position, and
he's the hardest of hardcorees on the left right at
least an elective office. So think about the total Trump
victory there. And we know that he doesn't believe personally
a word that he's saying. He's saying it because he
(10:54):
knows that that that Trump won on that issue, that
that America has gone against the Democratic Party on that issue,
and that if the Democratic Party said what it really
believes and what it really wants, they wouldn't win anything again.
So wow, what a what a total victory for Trump
on that? What a capitulation A five five or zero
(11:16):
five A two five five text d A N five
seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
We just played the latest Sean.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Boyd's story on this just horrific situation over at Columbine.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Follow up on that in a second. Let's work in
some calls.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
We'll start with David in California. You're on the Dan
Caplish'll welcome David.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Oh thanks, are you Dan?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I sure hope. So this could all just be a
great dream.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Oh okay, Well I remember hearing your show year or
so ago. I thought you had a different voice. But anyway, well,
I was interested in the economy and what I'm looking at.
Have you ever studied pirates?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
All right, my friend, where are we going?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well? You know, Trump is always talking about going against
the deep state, and I'm looking at it as if
it's a gang war, that Putin's gang is against the
deep state, and so they're just pirates either side. George
Bush was skull and bones, right, so that would be
deep state and Donald Trump is Putin's gang. You know,
(12:26):
he's been involved with the Russian mob since the late eighties.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And so do you, my friend?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Let me ask you, is this this business about defaming, slandering,
et cetera. Is that something you do often or do
you reserve that for Donald Trump?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And I always haven't.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
You've never heard that Donald Trump is organized crime?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah? You know, I would love to see the proof,
my friend. We're in evidence based ship.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I can tell you a book that was written in
the air too. No, let's just just give us the fact.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Just Hey, you're the guy.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
You're the guy calling the show to defame somebody else,
So you give us the facts.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
So this book written in in the year two thousand,
called Mafia Maafa Yia, and on page one hundred and
thirty two and one thirty three it talks about a
Russian mobster that's on the run. The FBI tracks him
down and finds him in a Trump tower, and so
(13:24):
they move in to catch him, and the guy's gone.
And a week later they track him down again and
they find he's gone to a different Trump tower. So
it's pretty plain. And then in fact, then they talk
a little about the Trump casino over there in Atlantic City.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
So you're talking, you're talking about a book written twenty
years ago. Can you explain something to me then? How then, with.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
The entire apparatus of the Democratic Party, which includes virtually
all of the media, not all, but almost all, includes
countless billionaires. Literally, you can't even count the number of
billionaires behind Trump, a lot of Deep States support them. Now,
how the man get elected president twice? If what you
say is true? And by the way, even what you
claim is in a book written twenty years ago doesn't
(14:10):
prove anything against Trump.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Well, have you seen the movie The Apprentice came out
last summer? Okay, blackmail? Blackmail is the technique that they use. Okay,
mailing the Supreme Court justices, blackmailing the senators black and.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Who did this? Who did this? And how'd they do it?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Well, you mean you you're an attorney, right.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
This is a waste of time. Dump them?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Would you write? I'm remoter, I dump you myself. Yeah,
this is just a silly waste of time.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
So listen. I understand there are all sorts of Trump
haters out there, and we welcome that. Come to this show.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I know you disagree with me, come to this show
and lay out your argument, lay out your.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Facts, but don't be a blank like that guy.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Okay, you think you've got a legitimate reason to believe
Donald Trump is the BC or D lay.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It out there.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
You know, this guy's just a waste of our time.
Three or three someone three A two five five the
number text d an five seven seven three nine. But
I do want to talk a little bit about Bernie Sanders,
right because of what happened in Denver. And you know me,
I'm an optimist, but there are so many reasons to
be optimistic. There are so many reasons to be happy.
(15:31):
And one of the biggest ones, and there are so
many right now, is looking at that rally in Denver,
And I know there are disagreements over the number. Was
it really twenty three thousand or thirty thousand and thirty three?
To me, that's not a big deal because it was
a big group, right, It was a big group that.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Turned out for Bernie Sanders and AOC.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
And if, like me, you want to see this Democratic
Party lose to the point where it just can't function
anymore because it's so horrible for America, then you should
be thrilled about what we saw out there at Civic
Center Park, right because if that's where the energy is
in the Democratic Party, it means great things for America
because that Democratic Party is not going to win. That
(16:12):
Democratic Party is going to get absolutely routed. And I
think it means very good things for Colorado as well,
because we all know Colorado's gone far left right. But
if that is where the energy is in Colorado politics
right now, that just I think makes the possibility of
(16:32):
a Republican nominee winning the governor's office winning the Senate
seat even greater because It's hard for me to believe
that many of the people who went out to Civic
Center Park to worship Bernie Sanders and AOC are very
excited about John Hickenlooper or Michael Bennett or any of
those people, right, because they really don't stand for anything.
(16:56):
And who was it Ryan? Somebody did a maybe it
was commentary of Peace, But there was some great commentary
in the last few days about how the Democratic Party
has now become divided between the believers and those who
don't believe in anything. And the believers are these far
lefties who show up in Civic Center Park for Bernie
(17:17):
and AOC and who will tank the party. The party
can't win broadly, the party can't win nationally, the party
can't win in most states with that kind of agenda.
The rest of the Democratic Party has made up of
a bunch of people who don't believe that much in anything,
you know, which is where kind of Bennett and hick
and Looper fall. And they can't really believe this stuff
(17:38):
they claim to believe just in order to get elected office,
Like yeah, baby, you should be able to kill them
up til the moment they're born, and sometimes even after
they can't possibly believe that they say those things so
they can get elected as a Democrat. So I think
the Democratic Party is in the most perilous position it
has been in our lifetime, which is good news for America.
So I want to come back and at your reaction
(18:00):
to all of that as well. I want to give
you my take on what I think the next step
should be to try to get to the bottom of
what happened at Columbine. Hold everybody accountable, protect the children
of Colorado, fulfill this mother's mission, which he's fighting so bravely,
and well three or three someone three eight two five
five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
(18:22):
You're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You release the JFK file. So do you think Oswald
killed JFK personally? I do, and I bow has held that. Yeah,
of course he was. Was he helped and based on
the papers that you.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Know, we released eighty eight as I was here, and
in fact there was some that they needed a little
more time.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Just now we said go over to the office, will
show you. Yeah, so nobody could say and they've been released.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I think the papers have turned out to be somewhat unspectacular.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, I think that's and maybe it's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
So President Trump believing Oswald was the trigger man, but
there were others involved. I wonder how many people right
now believe Oswald acted alone. Does anybody in America believe
Oswald acted alone? If you do, I'd be anxious to
hear your rationale on that. I don't think there's any
doubt he pulled the trigger, but hard for me to
(19:24):
imagine at least that there weren't others involved, given all
the circumstances. Three or three someone three eight two five
five the number text d A N five seven seven
three nine. The Trump role continues, right, Columbia buckling to Trump,
and Columbia obviously was just so insane and the stuff
they were doing was so crazy and so hateful. It's
(19:45):
just another lasting gift from Trump, right, and and the
fact that, okay, Columbia had to buckle. But I'm thinking
of this long beyond Trump, Ryan, I'm thinking of the
example that Trump is setting for the rest of the GOP.
And you know, everybody's got to take their own approach,
their own personality, et cetera. Be true, to themselves, authentically themselves,
(20:08):
but just the point that that, hey, you know, we've
got to be ready to stand up to evil, We've
got to be ready to fight, we've got to be
ready to take tough action.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
That it's pieced through strength.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I think that example from Trump and that it really
does work, I think is going to live long, long,
long beyond the Trump presidency.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
So let's hope anyway.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Three or three someone three eight two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven three nine
will start to work text in shortly. Just have a
lot of ground to cover today. One other note on
this rally. I was out of state at the time
of the Bernie Sanders AOC rally, but got a lot
of national coverage, as you know. But one of the
things that was so striking to me Ryan And maybe
(20:53):
there are some some photos out there that I haven't seen,
but it was it looked like it was is over
ninety ninety five percent white.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
And you know, the truth is.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
None of the photos I saw could I make out
anybody who didn't appear to be white. But I'm sure
there were some. But what does that tell you? What
does And I'd love to hear from folks on that.
Let's just say, for the sake of generosity that the
overwhelming majority of that crowd that showed up for Sanders
and AOC was white. If if that's true, which is
(21:28):
what the pictures seemed to show.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
What does that tell you?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
What does that tell you about where the Democratic Party
in Colorado? Because this was in Colorado? Is that right now?
Three or three? Someone three eight two five five text
d An five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
What does it tell one young Ryan shooing?
Speaker 10 (21:45):
Well, it tells me, Dan that there is a tremendous
blind spot in that wing of the Democratic Party for
minority voters and in particular Black Americans who don't feel
included in that message and never have. And quite frankly, Dan,
when you go back to the twenty election in which
Bernie Sanders looked like he was carrying forward similar momentum
as he was in twenty sixteen when he was giving
(22:06):
Hillary Clinton a hard time. You know that, Pete Budah Judge,
I think one Iowa. Things got weird there for the
Democrats and the caucuses. But then Bernie won New Hampshire
and was on a glide path to the nomination until
Representative Jim Clyburn, who was African Americans, stepped in and
rallied the troops in South Carolina, largely Black Americans, to
support Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders has never resonated in
(22:29):
general with Black Americans, Dan, and I don't know what
the specific reasons are to connect the dots, but then
I will hand it off to you.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
I do, yes, my friend, and nor with Latinos Hispanics, right, true, true,
And you know there, I think a couple of big
starting point reasons for that, and it votes very very
poorly for the Democratic Party long term, no matter who
their nominee is, because you've got this major disconnect right now.
And I'm speaking broadly here right, speaking broadly between say,
(23:02):
Black Americans and then Latinos and Hispanics and the Democratic Party,
which is that Black Americans in general, as well as
Latinos and Hispanics in general, are very faithful people who
believe in God deeply and often center their lives around God.
So they've got it right, They've got it figured out.
And of course I'm talking in generalities, but you've got
(23:26):
now these communities which generally speaking have deep faith, which
habitually vote for a party that has now become very
far left, secular, anti faith, and so that's a relationship
that the Democratic Party is not going to be able
to hold on to over time, because most people, if
(23:46):
it's important enough to be their faith, their God is
more important to them than their political party. And as
the Democrats get more and more secular and more and
more anti faith, they're going to lose more and more
voters of color.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
So that's a starting point reason.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
And then you get to other policy stuff we talk
about a lot, right, which is you know, the Democratic
Party just so abusing people of color and their children
in so many different ways, you know. So, yeah, so
the Democrats have a major problem with people of color.
Trump has done a great job, you know, bringing that
to the four and making the roads.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
We're all aware of.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
So now you end up with this this preposterous rally
last week where you have these huge numbers of Democrats
turn out for Bernie and DOOC and very very few
people of color.
Speaker 8 (24:33):
And a lot of it too.
Speaker 10 (24:34):
Dan and speaking with Rob Dawson, who was there to
cover it for KOA on my program, which is the
Dan Capitalist pregame, show that it's kind of to your
point it was birds of a feather. There were people
that wanted to be preached to like a choir, and
you had people there that were all like minds. They
all were united in their hatred all of a sudden
of Elon Musk and suddenly they want to torch charging
(24:55):
stations because I guess they're not that concerned about the environment.
They obviously hate Donald Trump in that cause. But Dan,
what Rob was noticing, and he's not a partisan reporter,
was that there was a real lack of enthusiasm in
terms of positivity, a forward thinking vision for the future,
an affirmative vote, and support for Bernie and AOC. Rather
(25:16):
what it was here where those two were just a
vehicle for hatred and spite and malice against Elon Musk
and Donald Trump, and that apparently is what they feel
is going to lead to victory.
Speaker 8 (25:27):
I strongly disagree.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Well, which goes to another critical point, right, which is
another layer of why you didn't see significant numbers of
people of color out there, is our communities of color. First,
you start with the deep faith, right, deep faith in
God's centering lives around.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It, so yeah, they've got it figured out.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And then you get to this opposition to socialism and communism.
And there's a link there to faith, of course, right,
because communism in particular socialism also tends to be anti faith.
But you know, certainly are Hispanic Latino community men have
had direct experience with socialism don't want it, and you
(26:07):
know again Black Americans don't want it. So yeah, why
are you going to show up for AOC and Bernie
when when a lot of people, I think properly just
see that as as a form of socialism. And then
your point Ryan that people, according to Rob didn't seem
to be out there for a positive agenda.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
What's the positive agenda? You can get behind it?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
And that's the distinction with the Tea Party, right because
after Obama won in eight you know, then you had
this big turnout the Tea Party, which is a true
grassroots operation. But the Tea Party had very specific policy
goals and then achieved a lot of those policy goals. Here,
you know, you've just got this anger and what do
(26:50):
you get behind on the policy front. And for those
who do support Bernie and AOC policies, that stuff ain't
never becoming policy in America, not not.
Speaker 10 (26:57):
Broadly well, and I think it goes to the fact
Dan that things aren't getting better under Donald Trump, and
that goes to his support among the Latin American and
Black American communities. They want to know what's going to
help them at the kitchen table, and Trump's policies, given time,
we believe will work.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
But further to that point, these.
Speaker 10 (27:14):
Are boutique issues really that Bernie Sanders and AOC represent.
These are coastal liberal elites who are living, you know,
high society lives. They have first world problems, and so
they can afford to be rather cavalier in their politics about, Oh,
I don't like Elon Musk, and these are not really heartfelt,
core feelings and issues. I believe on these topics, and
(27:36):
it's not driven by a real kind of heartbeat of America,
you know, the Upper Midwest, the rust spelt, the working
men and women of America that wants embodied the Democratic
Party for people like.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
You, No and in quotes so well for GOP hopes
in Colorado as well. Let's talk a little bit about
the terrorist detects on Tesla and what should be done
there as well.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
You're on the Dan Capla show.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Why would you grade the Democratic Party's response?
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Well, I would take us back even two years before that,
before Trump was elected and saying that it saddens me
that when the Democrats had control of the Senate they
did virtually nothing for working people.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I have to say that I'm a member of.
Speaker 9 (28:18):
The Democratic Caucus as an independent, so I'm not going
to lie to you and tell you otherwise. Yeah, And
since then, do I think the Democrats have been effective
in rallying the American people and stopping Trump's movement toward
Oligautian authoritarianism.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
No, I don't wow think about that.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
And there is so much good news right for the
Republican Party in general but Colorado as well in that
AOC Sanders rally last week. But these comments about missus
Jonathan Carroll a few days later about admitting that the
Democratic Party hasn't done anything for the working people, I mean,
that is a so true b It is not going
(28:58):
to change. It's not going to change because as the
current makeup of the Democratic Party, they're not capable of that.
See Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
AOC, etc.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
That wing is not going to become the presidential nominee.
So they are stuck right now. They are stuck in
this doom loop and the only thing that can rescue
them nationally at this point is major GOP screw ups, right,
That's the only thing that could rescue them.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
And now let's.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Talk about Colorado separately, tougher not to crack, right, Colorado's
so far left and the GOP in Colorado is in
this rebuilding phase.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
So yeah, is this going to be enough in Colorado?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
We don't know yet, but we at least know the
door is open here and that is such a big.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Deal, right because it hasn't been for a while. We've
seen some really.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Really good candidates, you know, not be able to get
to that mountaintop in Colorado and in the last several cycles.
But I think we're looking at a different landscape now
in that rally and the lack of people of color
there and the fact that that's where.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
The energy is in that party right now? Do you think.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Colorado and I'd love to hear from folks in this
three or three seOne three eight two five five text
d an five seven, seven, three nine, what percentage of
Colorado voters right now do you think are as far
left as Bernie and AOC.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
What do you think, Ryan.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
A percentage of Colorado voters, Yeah, Colorado vote well are
that far left. I think it's higher than the national
mean or average.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
I would say a.
Speaker 10 (30:28):
Good third of them, one third of them are that
far left.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
You're prob of the Democrat you mean all Colorado.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
Voters, of the Democrats, well, of the Democrats, of the
Democrats in Colorado. That's a good It might be half,
it might be as high as fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Boy, I think that would be the highest none of
us can somewhere. I'm sure right.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I think Colorado voters at most, maybe as a whole
twenty percent would be that far left. But my big hope, obviously,
is that the people who have have that kind of
skewed view, that they're not going to show up in
large numbers for Hickenlooper and let's say Bennett's the gubernatorial nominee,
or whoever the Democrat gubernatorial nominee is. They're not going
(31:13):
to be excited to show up for those people because first,
who would be right? And then second, yeah, they certainly
are not going to talk that far left game. So
I think there's going to be this lack of enthusiasm
on the Democrat side that we haven't seen in a
while here, and I don't think police ever generated great enthusiasm.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
But he could spend twenty thirty whatever.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Million dollars on his campaign which made up for the
lack of enthusiasm. Three or three someone three eight two
five five text d A N five seven seventy three nine.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
He want to throw this at you, cut eighteen. Please.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
This is RFK Junior talking about getting cell phones out
of schools.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Cut eighteen.
Speaker 11 (31:53):
The cell phones also produce electric magnetic radiation. This has
been shown to damage, to do neurological damage to kids
when it's around them all day, and to uh and
to call cause cellular damage and even cancer. So a
selfone use and social media use on the cell phone
(32:15):
has been directly connected with depression, with poor performance in schools,
with suicidal ideation, with substance abuse, and you know it's
it's the other countries that have done this, the states
that are doing this have found that it is a
much healthier environment when kids are not using self phones.
(32:36):
The schools talked, the teachers loved it.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I bet yeah. The parents do too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
I mean, this is like the biggest no brainer in
the history of education, right, there is no way in
the world that cell phone should be alloped in school.
Now maybe you say, okay, the kids got to keep
it in storage somewhere out there so they can then
reach their parents, But no way it should be allowed
in any classrooms, No way it should be allowed in
any kind of school assemblies, et cetera. And so it
(33:07):
is so remarkable to me that it's still allowed anywhere.
Why do you think it is. I'd love to get
your take on this. Three or three someone three eight
two five five text d A N five seven seven
three nine. And this is separate a part of the
issue of does it, you know, emit some type of
energy field that's damaging to the brain, et cetera. This
is just basic common sense, right. These things are so distracting,
(33:30):
so addictive, so bad for kids in so many different ways.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Ryan. I'll bet most people listening, including you, hopefully most people.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Listening, know people now in their eighties who are screen agers, right,
just totally addicted to screens.
Speaker 10 (33:45):
That's an interesting I just interviewed Pat Boone. He's ninety,
and he's familiar with all these platforms like Spotify and
Spreaker and all these others. There is an element of that.
You're right though, it's aging in.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Well because it is addictive. I mean, it is just ative.
It's addictive mentally the stimulation, the stimulation of the.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Images, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
And it's just there's this major transformation underway in society,
I think when it comes to attention span, et cetera.
And you know, I'm not talking about people choosing to
be frivolous or anything else. It's just the orientation towards
screens and how that trains us, right, and how that
just determines how we get our information, what we pay
(34:27):
attention to.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
And so the.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Last thing in the world we'd want would be any
of these kids in schools having cell phones. What do
you think if there was a statewide referendu right now
to ban cell phones from public schools, what do you
think the vote would be.
Speaker 10 (34:40):
On that, on a ballot measure or in the General
Assembly ballot measure?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Oh, I think listen the General Assembly that I mean,
that's just a bunch of loons for the most part,
sixty four except for our side.
Speaker 10 (34:51):
But what do you think that the vote would be
Salad issues sixty forty at least.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Oh my lord, I think we're talking a ninety ten
issue here now. Maybe not among the students, but not
that many of them are old enough to vote. So
what do you think should cell phones be banned from
all Colorado public schools?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
That more ahead. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
